Santangelo Arena

Santangelo ("Uncle Babe") passed peacefully away on March 28, 2007. He was born in Pennsylvania Jan. 23, 1922, but moved to San Jose at age two and spent the next 83 years in the same house on 13th Street. He had a sparkling wit, spunky character, and genuine interest and concern for his cherished nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Salvatore Arena and Theresa Rivoglioso Arena, immigrants from Trabia, Sicily; his brother Gaetano Arena; his sister Marianna Cirone; and a niece, Laurie Scherp. He was a devoted brother to Vincenzo Arena, who survives, and a beloved uncle to Joseph Cirone, Florice Cirone Bittick, Theresa Aquino, Judith Arena, Susan Miner, Jane Easton, Theresa Arena, Nena Arena, Tom Arena, Richard Arena and 23 great-nieces and great-nephews.
